60 players duked it out at Brazil's first ever Battle Hardened last weekend, each vying for the Gold Foil, PTI, playmats, and cut of $2,000 USD!
Speaking of cuts, the Lord of Wind stepped up to overwhelm the local Classic Constructed meta, placing three times in the top cut!
Players threw hands again on Sunday in the PTI, wrapping up an action-packed weekend!
Battle Hardened
Katsu has wandered far and wide, but it seems he's pretty popular in Brazil! Not only did the grandmaster place three times in Top 8, he took home the gold after taking down the king of the jungle, Rhinar! Surprisingly, Lexi missed the mark this time, placing just short of a top cut finish.
Congratulations to Flávio Castro, and to the rest of our Top 8 competitors!
